[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 578140, member: 1550"] Child born additcted to drugs, like one of my kids, have a much harder time regulating their emotions. His early trauma will be with him forever...you can't normalize that. Whether or not he can grow to be a normal adult is up for grabs right now. He needs interventions and help for that and attachment help. It is not all up to us as parents as to how our damaged children turn out. My son is nineteen and doing very well considering. He is on the spectrum because of the drugs and this makes him need adult services. It is in my opinion unfair to expect your child to just be a normal kid who listens to you easily with all he has been through. Don't you think he needs more than that? Again, my last words...find him an attachment therapist. And I'd take all three to see that therapist. You can't have that sort of background and not be somewhat tormented and need special help. You don't think being locked in a closet impacted his development? You think it's just plain ODD? Most professionals do not understand traumatized, older adopted kids who did not have love in their first three years. He doesn't listen to you because he is used to taking care of himself and he is his boss, not you...but if you think it's just ODD, well, maybe you'll look back when he is older. But early intervention is best. Ok, I'll shut up now. Have they ever been tested for fetal alcohol effects? (my last word...lol). [/QUOTE]
